So. Frickin. Cool.

Very fun to actually finish the labyrinth.
A nifty hidden aspect of Toronto.

A plus is that there's cool things to check out around it like the church, mini waterfall and fountain etc.

This place is famous for the spicy Mayan Hot Chocolate. I couldn't try it because my tongue can't handle anything spicy but the idea is brilliant. Anything Mayan-related is ultra cool.

The store is small and charming yet busy. There are some awesome…More »

A little expensive for grilled cheese sandwiches, in my opinion, but as it's a speciality store, I guess the prices aren't too bad and make sense.

They have a great variety of delicious sandwiches; something to please everyone.

This place was orgasmic. First time I complimented the food to the waiters as much as I did. I felt SO compelled to write a review to urge others to try this place. After taking a bite of each item that I ordered, I kept telling my friend "this is SO…More »

This place is so cute with awesome decoration and layout and the frosting is so frickin delicious.

The problem is that the actual cupcakes are lackluster. Especially since we got them fresh. I was disappointed. Anyone can make good frosting but it's…More »

I wish I could give it a higher rating as there's nothing particularly bad about this place as it seems like a very small business, handmade stuff like shop.

They have some yummy unique things, and I LOVE that it's handmade and that everything is…More »

Average.

They have some yummy sandwiches, some gluten-free stuff, delicious fresh lemonade and some other miscellanious stuff.

Not worth the hype, and the workers just seem miserable. I wish them more happiness.

Wanted to check out what the hooplah was all about.

The answer? No need for hooplah at all.

Tiny shop, overpriced food I can find cheaper at other places. They have some unique items but for the price they're worth....no thanks. Cold workers.

The lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful and you can call them to check if they have what you're looking for and if they've ordered in something new.

I went here for the donuts. They turned out to be just okay. I was sad. They're cute, tiny, hot, but it wasn't yummy enough. Great price though for those who would like the flavour (less than $3 for 6)

The guy making them just seemed bored but the…More »

I'm glad they have the vegetarian option and the place is cute.

But...it didn't taste any different than poutine in other shops and it was more expensive (almost $9 with tax) when Smoke's has more poutine for cheaper.

Oh, very impressed with the…More »

One dish was split between me and the friend I was eating here with. We ate less than 1/4 in the restaurant, and split the rest in half to take home.

3 or 4 days later, I still have a lot of it left. WOW. Big portions is an understatement.

It's very hard to rate it as I feel like giving the bar itself one rating and the experience of being there another lower rating.

This is like a 2.8 review.

There is meat, cream, fruit and other pies. They range from 4 inches to 11 I believe. Prices are really expensive. For example, fruit pies are either 9 or 11 inches, and are respectively 16 and 25 dollars. Way too…More »

This was my first time ever trying a burrito. Gasp. I know.

Very interesting experience.

First you place your order and pay for it, then customize your burrito and wait for it (felt like 15 minutes, which is a little long).

4.5 damn it. Not 4.

So, I"m a vegetarian. Not a pescatarian, but a vegetarian. That means I can't eat 85% of this menu. However, the 15% that I can and this place in general - is awesome sauce. DRIPPING with awesome sauce.

So my fellow vegetarian and…More »
